    In a few hours Sam would be flying to Germany. We looked at each other but no sound broke the silence of my beach﹣side house.

    Such a moment was not the first time for me.On Sam's first day of kindergarten (幼儿园),I felt his stress when holding his hand.He looked at me﹣as he did now. But I said nothing till the school bus came.About ten years later,I drove him to the college. He was sick but I didn't know then. I thought he was just too tired. I tried to think of something to say as he would start a new period of life. Again,___________.

    Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those opportunities we parents all let pass. A boy graduates from school,a daughter gets married.We seldom find a quiet moment to tell them what they have meant to us. Or what they might face in the future.

    Sam was weak when he was born but grew into a strong boy.Then he became the best baseball player in high school. His finest moment came when he got the first prize at a science fair.I was sorry he gave up his athletic talent,but proud that later he chose English literature.One day,I told Sam I regretted never traveling abroad to know better about the world before working.Sam decided to learn German in Berlin,even though his friends thought it meaningless.

    The night before he was to leave, I failed to say any words again. Maybe, I thought, it wasn't necessary to say anything.

    What does it matter if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him? But as I stood before Sam,I knew it does matter. My father and I loved each other. However,I always regretted never hearing him put his feelings into words.

    "Sam,"I said,"if I could have pickedI would have picked you."I wasn't sure he understood what I meant. Sam came towards me and threw his arms around me,saying"thank you".My eyes misted over (模糊). Then, the moment ended, and Sam left home.

    That was seven weeks ago, and now I think about him when I walk along the beach near my home on weekends. Thousands of miles away, Sam might be busy walking in the street of Berlin.

    What I had said to Sam was not new. It was nothing.Butit was everything

(adapted from Words from a Father)

(1)Which of the following can be put at the end of Paragraph2?  

A. I failed to say a word

B. his illness worried me

C. I decided to go abroad

D. his growth satisfied me

(2)When Sam heard "if I could have pickedI would have picked you.", he might feel  

A. stressed

B. sad

C. calm

D. excited

(3)What does the writer mean by writing the last sentence "Butit was everything."?

A group of adults, highly succeeded in their jobs, went to visit their old professor(教授). Soon they began to       about the stress in work and life.
The professor went to the kitchen and returned      a pot of coffee and all kinds of cups—crystal(水晶的), glass, plastic, some nice looking, some plain looking, some        , some cheap. And he told them to help       to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the professor said, “I’ve noticed that all the nice looking expensive cups were      up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is        for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the cause of your      and stress. You know that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee.      you really wanted was coffee, not the cup,      you went for the best cups.”
Now think about this: Life is the coffee, the jobs, money and      in society are the cups. They are just      to hold and contain life, and the type of cup does not change the quality of our life. Sometimes, by paying      only to the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee that God has       us. God gave us the coffee, not the cups. Please enjoy your coffee!
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the      of everything.
Live simply. Love sincerely. Care deeply. Speak       . And leave the rest to God.

After ten minutes' driving,we stopped the car and got out.Walking along a path,we turned at a comer.Gradually,the peace and silence of the place began to fill my mind.From the top of the mountain,I saw several fields full of flowers,shining like a carpet (地毯)before us.It looked as if the sun spilled (播洒)gold down the mountain.

Mr. and Mrs. March lived together with their four daughters. Amy was very shy. Beth loved being at home. Meg looked very pretty. Jo was tall and thin and she was a tomboy.. Their home was always busy and full of noise and people. Next to them lived old Mr. Laurence and his grandson, Laurie. They lived in a very large and comfortable house. But it was a house without life.

    One day, Joe saw Laurie standing at an upstairs window in his house and looking down at their garden. Jo's sisters were playing in the snow there. They were throwing snowballs and having a lot of fun. But Laurie's face was very sad.

    "Poor boy!" Jo thought. "He's all alone. He needs some friends." She couldn't stop thinking about him. She wanted to go and see him, but how could she go to the house without an invitation?

    Then one snowy afternoon, she saw Laurie's grandpa go out. This gave her an idea. She took a broom from the kitchen.

    "What are you going to do, Jo?" asked her sister Meg.

    "To clear the garden path." Answered Jo.

    When Laurie saw Jo from the window, a big smile changed his pale, sad face.

    Jo laughed and shouted, "How are you? Are you ill?"

    Laurie opened the window and said," I'm better now, thank you. I had a bad cold and had to stay inside for a week".

    "I'm sorry," said Jo. "Are you bored?"

    "Yes, very." he replied.

    "Don't your friends come to visit you?"

    "No. But I don't want to see anybody. Boys are noisy and they give me a headache."

    "Girls are quiet."

    "I don't know any girls."

    "You know us."

    "That's true! Can you come and visit me?" cried Laurie.

    " I'm not quiet, but I'd like to come," replied Jo. "I must ask Mother first." She ran back into her house.

     A few minutes later, she returned and rang the bell on the door of laurie's house. A servane took her upstairs.

    "Here I am!" she said brightly. "Mother sends her love and my sisters gave me this blancmange (牛奶冻) for you."

    "That looks delicious," Laurie said. He was very happy to see Jo.

    Jo looked around. There were lots of books on the shelves.

    "A nice room!" she said. "I can read to you if you like."

    "No, let's talk," replied Laurie.

    "All right," said Jo, "I can talk for hours. My sisters say I never know when to stop."

    "You have three sisters﹣Amy, Beth and Meg." Laurie continued.

    "How do you know this?" Jo was surprised.

    "You call each other's names when you are in the garden. Sometimes I can see you all around the table with your mother. She has a very kind face. I like looking at her. I haven't got a mother."

    Jo felt sad when she heard this.

    "Why don't you come and visit us?" she said, "It isn't good for you to stay in this house all the time."

    "Thank you. I'd like to come very much." Said Laurie.

    "We know all our neighbours except you." Jo said, " I'm glad we're friends now."

    She told him about all the interesting things in her life. She said," Besides(除了……之外) plays, I also love books." Laurie loved books too, and offered to show her the library in the house. The library was a wonderful room. Jo loved it.

    "Wow!" she said, "All those books!"

    Laurie said, "A person needs more than books."
